One of my favorite parts of repairing tech: seeing the sped-up instant replay, like its a 1990's LEGO ad.

An amazing Day 1 at the 2024 Open Hardware Summit! ✨ Many thanks to @oshwassociation for creating a collaborative space full of amazing engineers, makers, and educators. I appreciate being able to share my work in repurposing obsolete tech on stage today! 👾

It's great seeing one of your first #opensource projects being remixed! ✨

Shoutout to Chris Borge on Youtube for making some rad updates to my original cassette tape model ^-^

Found gaming footage of me and the boys playing @CallofDuty Modern Warfare 2 (2009).

Video was shot in 2010 using a 4th Gen iPod Nano. So much nostalgia ✨

I'm spending my Friday afternoon switching out the innards of my Casio F-91W with a programmable sensor board made by @josecastillo.

I'm a little bit in love with this transparent jelly aesthetic 💎
